' The main frameworkof the safe is constructed ofthe front angle-piece, A A A2 A3, the rear angle-piece, B B `IB B3, the bottom joining-pieces, C, and the corresponding top` In j Fig-'5 is shown detached one ot' the top corner angle-pieces, D. The bottom connecting cornerfpieces, C, are substantiallysimilar,znidthefrontandback angleframes, A A A. A and B B' B2 B, are built up of corresponding angle-plates welded together to form thetwo square trames shown. These angle-pieces are rolled from sheet metal, the sheets being ot' a composite character-that is composed ot'sheets or lamiine ot ironor steel of substantially the same character as those used for the corner angle-pieces l i Theside ]jianel-pieces arerepresented by ll `plates or laniinze. pered, they are apt to .spring more or less,

except at the central E, and the rear or bacln'pieces by-VE.- For safes ofthe ordinary larger size it isimpracticable to make sheets ofthe composite charac tor described wide enough to extend entilcly o across the side or face lof thesat'e; hence it l UR has been necessary, in'manufacturingsates ofl this kind, to join at the edges two ormore sheets, as shown in the drawings; The method of fastening `with' which l' ani,` acquainted `that has been connnon heretoforeis-illustratedxin Fig. 19-that is to say, thetsheets `have been` rabbeted to provide overlapping tongues e, the tongue of each plate corresponding to the rabbet 1n the opposing adjacent plate. Screws have then been inserted from the inside in such manner asto more o r less bind together' the inner plates and the outer. Experience, however, has shown that'many disadvantages and diiculties are incident tothisinethottofjoiningthe panel-plates to eachjother and to the corner frame-pieces. To provide a close fitting of the tongues and rabbets,it1has been necessary tosubject thefthree-faees -produced upon each edge of the plates to a planing operation. 'lhe planing `o1' such faces is very ditlicnlt, owing to the presence of the steel NVhen the plates are temand in order to make aI perfectV joint Vwhere the rabbetedportions join, :only .one part of the rabbet can be ground", leaving theinner part to come in contactavi-th the'next plat-e,v which has to be groun'dfxoitfto make a good joint. Moreover, even when a joint comparatively perfect is produced, ithas been found that it can be so attacked by bu'rglars` tools as to be practically but a` slightguard against tearing the plates apart where the tongues overlap.

To obviate the difficulties of construction vexperienced in following the above-desoribed method ot' joining the plates together, and to provide a su periorsafeg d. against the splitting ot' the plates apar iavedevised the `followi ng means i'orjoining together the plates. lleterri ng to Fig. l., it wi ll. be seen that the edge i ot' each plate is sanare entirely across the edge, point, where-aygroove is provided, to be described.

I whennw-p15#J7 sheets-I that isv .to say, sheets having acentral layer or lamina of iron, and-also outer layrs'of the ,1,5 .same material, with steel ones between-#fare employed,the grooves are formedin the softer iron layer, and this can be planed withmueh .less dicultythan can steellayers. F representsadowel-st'rip orj oining-tongue, 2o preferably-made ofsteel, of such -widthaswto t tight-1y Within the groovesee in the'op posing 'edges-'of the adjacent layers." 'A fter v they have been j oined by means ot' this strip or bar, it is* practically impossible to' get wedges or similar tools far enough into the joint be; tween the plates to have them (said tools) util ized insplitting the plates apart or forcing theurloose from the plates behind. By exam- ,ininfgidfig 2 of the drawings it will be seen v3o that thereis upon-the outer side of the groove and the td'eyvel .or tongue a layer of steel, mi, aud upon-"the inner side another layer, mf. The outer layer, mi, of the steel serves to pre: vent the cutting away of the metal upon the 3 5 outside of the groove, Vso that it is practically impossible to get an aperture 'formed for the insertion of awedge past the'edge of the dowel o'rstongue, and the steel laye'rm upon the inside of the groovel prevents the lmetal from be- 4ofing bent or twisted, so as to permit the plates to besprung apart or pulled outward .beyond the dowel or tongue. .i I have represented by m that portion of the outer, plate which lies .outside of the groove and tongue, and which,

`as above said, is protected by the steel layer ma'fr'om being cut, and have represented by m that portion of the metal inside of the groove and the tongue, which 'is prevented from being twisted br bent by the steel layer 5o m". Y The grooves e? e may be of lanydepth-desired, and the doweling-piece or joining-strip F may be cf corresponding width; The an- 'gle-plates at the front, rear, top, .and bottom of the safe are grooved, and'provided with dow.-

clin-g or joining pieces of a similar character to that described.

In setti-ng lup. a safe ofI the'character shown,

`the side panelsfll E,- maybe driven into place upon' the doweling or j'oiningst'rips at 'the edge 6o. of the front angle-piece, and` after they have .i been thus put together vthe rear angle-.frame canbe joined to the other parts, as will be readily understood, After these parts of the safe have been secured together, I insert. solid welded angle lparts. madev of plates of aboutan incl! in thickness, `with the ends welded solid- 'ly togetherto f form tying-angles' or cross- "iv-festas?,

The bolt. is in serted through the plate I, and forced into the the squared part h5. The bolt-aperture in the panel-plate extends outward onlyto the outer layer or'lamina of steel, and against this steel vlayerof iron-x/ipon the outside) protects'the bolt from being. attacked by means of tools from the outside, even if the positionof the provided with 'ar-"reverseconicaly aperture,

Sonic ofthe nuts may be locked by providing square or angular apertures in the inner plate,

L adapted to fit over and engagewith the nuts,

whereby additional security is provided against having any ot'thelparts loosened. `The bolts are constructed ot'a composite inaterial inadeup oflayers ot' steel and iron, and after being rolled or otherwise compacted they are twisted, soas to have the layersor lanlinze of steel cross all the longitudinal planes of the bolt, to prevent the drilling ofthe saine longitudinally. The front stationary plates on one side arc represented by A J Jz J3 J* J5 and upon the other sidey by Ajj2jjj5. `These nlay be joined to or abutted against the side-` plates above described in any suitable way, though, it' desired, angle-plates maybe used upon the inside at the front corners.) The door is constructed of a corresponding series of plates, K K K `K3 K'i K5, secured together in the manner already described abovefo'r fastening the stationary wall-plate. l A much bet# l ter joint between .the door and the jainb or' casing can be produced if overlapping tongues Vl `-sl1aped in cross-section can be provi ded`,'

such as `shown atkandl. These are produced by rolling `or otherwise shaping one or more of the frontstationary plates to ln ve angular outward projection, as at lif, and shap-` ing one of the plates (as atl?) so as to have corresponding angular projections, k1, extend-` ing inward.V When the parts are thus constructed and the angular projectionsare caused to overlap, asshown in l, it will lie-seen that it is'practically impossible" to swing the door onan axis, and therefore exceedingly difficult to cause by wedging or other similar action a movement of the door from either edge. Moreover, itis practically impossible to insert powder or other, explosive material into the interior chamber of the safe, owing to the ditiiculty of getting such material around thc overlapping projections. It will be seen, howevcrythatthe door cannot be opened, even when it is desircdto do so, unless there bc caused lirst an outward sliding'of itin planes,

at right langles to the safe.

I combine with the door hinges ol'peculiar charactenby which the (loon can he first" drawn outwardly to disengage the-L shapcd overlapping projections.y :nul by which. alterinot be pushed inwardly.

The screw-thread projects beyond the outer face,` and is inserted 'in one of the apertures, l or mi, in the 'astening-plates. A t'ter being passed throughits j appropriate aperture, it is secured'byfmeansot' the cylindrieal nut marked it, whichniay be driven in by a screwdriver. i A'It is practically impossi-` ble to gain access to the safe at the points where the hinges are attached`,\as the bolts are of such shape and inserted/in such manner that they' cannot be withdrawn A outwardly and can- If they could be withdrawn outward, (asis the case` "ith 'the hinge bolts orscrews coinxnonlyused-lin' hanging safe-doors) apertures` would be left, by

means ofwhich drills or .other 'tools could be' inserted. forl the purpose of forcigan opening.

It will be seen thatthis purposeof the invention can be attained soflong ast-he bolt has an outwardly-projecting portion adapted' to ybe engaged with the hinge-plate, andv at the saine time is formed' or provided with a key or stop,

(preferably integral `with the bolt,) which engages with the safcwal1, to prevent its being pulled outwardly. Qt course there are moditications in these respcctswhich will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in this art. f

By

The upper barrel, M, carried bythe door, is

The aperture g is dared somewhat, to correspond to the conical. portion o2 of the pintle. 'The-barrel-M and this there is formed an aperture extending In the horizontal aperture there is mounted a lever, R, having an expanded' bearing or fulcrum part, fr, preferably of a diameter equal so that the lever can get a bearing by means of it lagainst the walls of the aperture. At the inner end ofthe lever there is a notch or recess, as at r', iitted around'the bofx or bearing-piece Q, the latter being preferably cut away or recessed at about the center vertically, so as to provide a cylindrical or curved bearing for the end of the lever. l v i r is a pin passing downward through the partA r of 'thelever R.) This pin, however,

does not operate as afulcrum for the lever, but acts simply to prevent longitudinal movement, thefulcrum being provided, as above said, by one side or the otherV of the wall of the aperture in which thelever mounted. It will be seen that if the outer end o f lever R be drawn away from the plane of the front of the safe, itv will by bearing/.against the box Qi compel the door to move outward on lines at right angles to the front of the safeyand, on the other hand, if the outer end of the lever be moved inward, the door will be moved in a similar direction. The limit of Jplay' of these y parts should be such as to correspond to the overlapping projections 75 and kx, so that they can be disengaged before thedoor moves around the pintles axially. As soon last-he end ofthe lever R has been thrown out, the door will have moved outon straight lines far-enough to permit 'the axial movement. lf it be desired, the lever -R can -be withdrawn, as the pin at can be detachable, 'and when so withdrawn an additional safeguard Vis provided to prevent improper access to the sat'e.

Both the 'upper and the lower hinges can be made in the wayl describedfand the swinging levers can be joined by a vertical rod, R', whereby they can be operated simultaneously.

I do not herein claim the devices fbi-'fastening the door-hinge to the outside of thesatfe, but reserve to myself the' right to claim allA novel features pertaining thereto in another application. i In the rabbeted'part of the stationary plates there are formed dovetailed grooves atj, and in the rabbetedpart 'of the doorthere are formed also grooves, as at 7.17. (See 13.) j" represents a strip of .felt or other equivalent material, one edge of which is iirmly secured withinthe dovetailed groove, the other edge IOO being so situated as to enter the groove 7s7` whenl the door is closed. The last-said groove is lsomewhatwider than .the thickness of the felt.'so that the latter shall have rooni to bend inthe groove, and when thus arranged it increases the difficulty of inserting powder or other explosive materials.A Sometimes such explosives are -forced into safes by means of 'air-pumps; but when the felt lining is arranged as described,'the felt operates to close l hcjoints still more tightly. as it eanbend in either direct-ion to fit closely againstihe joint.

In Fig. lo' there-is shown a j oint between the edges of the outer plates, produced by forming a tongue on one plate and an opposite groove in the other, the tongue and groove being in this ease also lat the central liu'e of the edge. This joint, like that above described, is more effective in preventing wedging than the ordinary one showniil Fig. lT; but l prefer that shown in Figs, l. and ll,.:1s the parts can be pla-ned or ground unich merel rul y than when tongues are vformed ou the edges.
